Evaluation some of production and morphological traits of strains of maize under conditions of natural infection by large corn stem borer Sesamia cretica


Abstract in English

This study was conducted at the field of the research station Sianow of General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research at Lattakia, to evaluate the susceptibility of 6 strains of maize ( IL.257-09(P1), IL.298-09(P2 ) , IL.286-09 (P3 ), IL.255-09( P4), IL.262-09 (P5), IL.228-09 (P6 )), against the natural infestation by large corn stem borer , Sesamia cretica Led. They were Compared with control (Ghouta 82).because it is the most growing variety in Syria.
